Another day and another digger.......


This one has been busy clearing and digging new ditches.  



Taken with the Mavic 2 Pro.

Impressive shot DA.    From all the tracks looks like that digger has been quite busy.  Nice to see it has both buckets available.

Yes,  they've used it to dig out lots of new ditches that have already filled up with water,   probably more so since the showers this morning.

Is this the beginning of a "digger"  series?

If they keep leaping out at me,  maybe.   Although this is the third in the digger series already

There's half a dozen on the housing development just up the road, but I haven't overflown it in a couple of months now.

Perhaps a little project for you then.

Well I have 3 fully-charged M3P batteries unused from this morning. But the weather will have to improve.

No doubt those new ditches have filled up based on all the rain you've had recently.  

Cool shot What are they building?

Thats a good reminder thanks,   I should go and pop mine on charge,   I have a couple of M2P batteries ready for the morning weather permitting and a couple of Mini 3 for if UPS deliver would be useful.  Then Thursday Im probably house bound for the day waiting for a new dishwasher to arrive.

It's settled down to steady rain here now, so I reckon the rest of the day will be a washout.
Tomorrow is a milestone birthday celebration for eldest daughter, so not much opportunity for droning.

Well you could always do a group photo shot from the air.

Probably just from the mornings rain,   it was really miserable just after sunrise.  Luckily I was rushing to get home by 7am when the dishwasher repair people were due.  

Had to go back to confirm that it'S another one ;-)

Yes,  the last one was orange and on an island 4 miles roughly from this one.

I may have something in the archives....

Wow, your repair people are out and about early.  Here, earliest would be 9 and then they usually run a bit late as they have to stop for coffee and donuts.

I'm not sure, it was dug at the beginning of the work.  Does it count for your Hidden Pond series?

Id forgotten all about the hidden pond series.

Yes,  they came from Bosch and both visits they have been here very early,   which is fine by me.

I did spot one the other day but the digger has since cleared it to make it visible.

I think you'll have to be the adjudicator on that one
Maybe it's a Revealed Pond

I'll look for something new then.

UPS tracking now shows it out for delivery.

Wonders never cease.  Maiden flight this afternoon then?

Yes. that the plan.  Maybe even before as the schedule is light today. Unlike tomorrow when Im grounded waiting for a new dishwasher.

Ah. The old one gave up the ghost, did it?

We had a leak that was tripping an internal sensor so the ash repair service looked at it and found a leak in the sump,  replacing the sump was fairly reasonable,  they came back yesterday to fit it and found that the heater was also leaking, so the full repair would be £547 so we didnt go ahead with it and ordered a new one,  although that was £1019 delivered it seemed the better option.

Sometimes replacement makes economic sense - and you have the peace of mind of a guarantee as well.

Exactly,  And the replacement was nice and quick to be delivered so not long to manage without it.

I love Bosch products.  For the most part they are well made and durable.

Previously had a Miele and that didnt live up to the hype of quality,  but so far the best products have been LG it seems.


UPS is here.  13 minutes to spare.

LG has a bad reputation here in the US for pre-mature product failure.
